Well how about that. Way to amp up the guilt for Callum; with a sad Lexi and a proud, trusting Ben. And talk about a rock and a hard place. Still in custody, Ben's getting a bit fed up of being kept on hold. Ritchie comes in and tells Ben to get on his feet,… Continue reading 22nd September, big fish

So a Benless ep last night, but quite a bit of Callum, and Ben was really the only thing on his mind. The fears of Ben being in prison were ramped up by various people and it left Callum in quite a dilemma. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Callum accepted Ben's offer… Continue reading 21st September, sleep on it

Thursday's ep was a bit of a rollercoaster for Ballum then - some sweetness before it came to a halt, and now Callum's at an impasse. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. In a continuation of Tuesday's episode, Callum's fixing himself up for the stag in the mirror when Ben returns from his… Continue reading 17th September, no comment

So on Tuesday we had a bit of a twist, where not only did Ben tell Jay about the plan, he roped him into carrying it out! We also finally saw the return of Danny as Ben and Jay set him up with the warehouse money. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. At… Continue reading 15th September, starting a war

In Ruby's club, Ben and Callum's conversation from Friday seems to pick up where it left off, with Ben reasoning that if the… Continue reading 14th September, promise me

The situation with Ben's implant continues to be an issue, but I'll cross that bridge when… Continue reading 11th September, you were lovely

I have to be honest and say it's a bit difficult writing this, as I've still got anger and disappointment from Tuesday's episode - and last night's episode didn't do much to make that better. I still love these characters, and am excited about what's coming up - but this aspect of Ben's… Continue reading 10th September, talk to me

It wouldn't feel right for me to ignore what I consider… Continue reading 8th September, you tell me

Well, this is it, my first episode recap post since June! Thank you for staying with me! What a surreal experience it was watching EastEnders last night. They've obviously had to switch up the filming techniques to cover the social distancing cheats, and there's a different feel to it. It feels bigger, and I think… Continue reading 7th September, tickle with your truncheon
